This comment makes no sense. We've got eight, arguably nine guys
who can play ball and contribute to a winning effort. Seven of
those in a significant manner. To say we don't have depth is
frankly ridiculous. Our depth has won us games. Garcia in
particular has come up huge for us this year. We're lucky to
have him coming off the bench.

Heilbron should schedule up like we did in 2017-18.

Well, we had one open scholly for next season, and we have one
commitment to fill it (Tyler Stephenson-Moore of LuHi). He's a
really good get, I think, for a number of reasons--not the least
of which is that he's a local kid who may bring in some fans.
That said, however, he's not a PG, which we desperately need.
So, I'm sure hoping that Makale Foreman is as good as Coach B.
thinks, or that someone on the current roster is capable of
stepping up.
The other possibility, of course, is that a roster spot opens up
with a transfer out. SBU has a number of really good PG offers
out there for net season, but it will take a defection from the
current ranks to enable that option. Any ideas or hints?

There could be several who might walk at end of season, opening
up roster spots:
- Akwasi could go pro - I hope not, but probably a better than
even chance, since he's already 22. He'll make 1st team this
year easy, but he's got Lamb back next year (assuming he
returns) standing in the way of POY, so now may be the time for
him;
- Ochefu - 2nd year, and he's logging fewer minutes than as a
freshman, it seems. I thought he showed a lot of improvement
over freshman year in OOC games, but for some reason, he's the
forgotten man. When he sees action, he's rusty as hell. He
can't be happy that he's behind Christie on the depth chart;
- Players who aren't seeing PT this year, could all walk, ala
Almonte. You only have 4 years to play and wouldn't you rather
be a player in DII, than be a bench warmer in DI, although
forfeiting a full ride is at issue. My candidates here would be
Ceesay, Christie, Long, and Aubry. Long started getting some
minutes, but has recently totally dropped out of the rotation,
so he'd be my leading candidate in this group.
Yes, we still need a natural point guard next year to fill the
void of Cornish, and at least share the duties with Mac.

Yeah, totally agree. Like UVM, our team has quite a bit of
depth. At least 7 deep, and could argue 9, if you include Long
and Chef. Compare that to Hartford - that all-Senior starting
team, who often has trouble finishing games well, due to lack of
depth.
